Anybody experience inner ear problems related to flying?

On one landing on a commercial flight, my ear started to hurt like a mofo. Guy next to me told me to chew some gum when we got on the ground. Felt like my ear drum was about to burst. Started chewing gum on the ground and it went away.

Go see a doctor.

Only bad experience I had with inner ear problems with flying was on a 3 hour flight. The whole flight, I was never able to get my ears to pop. I was chewing gum from start to finish and was also trying to pop them and nothing would help. Pressure got so bad I started getting dizzy with vision problems and also my hearing was reduced to maybe 20%. Once we landed, I was finally able to get them to pop but when they did, it hurt so bad. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Get airplane earplugs!! I had an extremely painful earache once on a flight, and since then I've always worn my earplugs and chewed gum.

Take some sinus medicine.

It happened to me and never went away. Thats how I found out I had meniere's. Go see an ENT tomorrow if you can. He should give you Valium to calm it down a bit.
I got referred to a neuro-otologist that diagnosed me. I had to do vestibular rehab and all kinds of testing. I know take a diuretic daily as well as Ativan and I do pretty good. I still get the vision problems especially around mirrors. I still fly but took a break for a bit. Use sudafed and nose spray and constantly try to equalize.

My brother lost his hearing in his left ear from airplane....

Me I've had 2 eardrum ruptures and subsequent scar tissue. Fluid doesn't drain and it fricks me up. Went ans had tubes put in...they fricking rock. Really helped my equilibrium
